Easiest pork EVER

Kalua Pig


Okay this recipe takes all day in your slow cooker, but seriously so easy!!!!

I got this recipe from a blog called Whole30 Cooking. And they call it Kalua Pig, which is just so cool and I love it. I love that you can eat pork on Whole30! Life is good. Also, click here to see what to do with your leftovers!



Anyway, onto the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

5 lbs pork shoulder 
2 tablespoons liquid smoke 
2-3 tablespoons Pink Himalayan Salt 

 DIRECTIONS:

 1. Rinse pork and pat dry. Place in a slow cooker. 

 2. Stab holes all over the pork with a knife.

 3. On one side put 1 Tbs. of liquid smoke and 1 Tbs. of salt and the same on the other side. 

 4. Cook on low for 10 hours. (I know it's a long time)

  • Shred (but not too thin) in slow cooker and serve. 
  • Serve with charred cabbage or really anything. You can buy a head of cabbage or shredded cabbage (because Trader Joe's only has shredded cabbage, punks). And I threw it in a skillet with some oil, salt, and pepper. It was perfect. 
  • Feel free to garnish with jalapenos or more cabbage, hot sauce, anything you want.




  • This may seem like it won't be flavorful or it's a lot of time for nothing, but you will have so many leftovers and it is the best pork I have ever had, there I said it. TRY IT! Make it for a party, dinner, meal prep, ANYTHING!

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 92-100)

Okay, So I have a couple extra days in this post, but it's the last post!!!!! 100 DAYS!!!!! I am the coolest! Leading off with #DAY92 with my all time favorite motivational quote! It's seriously amazing, and online it has an extra part, but I didn't think that was appropriate for social media.... For #DAY93 I was sitting around knowing I wanted to do some block letters, but couldn't think of anything to write. Then my hubbers walked in the door and here it is. It was a quick doodle, but he really liked it. So, it's a keeper. Now #DAY94 I made this amazing WHOLE30 approved gumbo with cauliflower rice!!!! It was so amazing, very spicy, but will eat again after the diet..... probably with real rice, but that's okay. PS, don't you just love my parsley garnish??? So artsy. Hahahaha! Recipe here And this is #DAY95. I only have 5 days left.... this is insane. I'm sure all my family and friends are happy it's almost over... Anyway, I p...

Reasons My Online Recipes Look The Way They Do.

So, I read this article the other day by Buzzfeed. I know everything is by them, but hear me out. It was talking about why online recipes are literally the worst. And I saw myself cracking up at every point. Here is the article Right!?!?! It's so true, but the one that hit me the most was when bloggers tell you their entire life stories and then they finally give the recipe at the end. I see myself going on Pinterest and just scrolling to the bottom every time. I read them sometimes, once I've picked a recipe. They are somewhat useful. Sometimes they'll throw in little cooking tricks that if you didn't use on this recipe it would be terrible. Anyway, so I have decided I am just going to post delicious recipes and pictures of delicious food. Maybe a 'I LOVE CHEESE' or something short here and there, but I want my posts to be all about the recipe! How do I make it and what do I need! I am also a huge component for as little ingredients as p...

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 85-91)

We are almost done with this 100 Day Challenge. How crazy is that? Who knew I could do anything for 100 Days?!?! #DAY85 I had some trouble with my T.... I couldn't get it perfect.... so I sent out a picture of both sides of Practice.... Quite embarrassing, but that's why we practice. BECAUSE I'M NOT PERFECT! Don't know why I yelled back there, I apologize. Ok, so #DAY86 I was really feeling the WHOLE30 cravings...... So, I chose this cute little quote to get me through. #DAY87, I had more leftover pork. You remember the nachos? Well, I had made a huge shoulder earlier in the week and still had some leftover. So, my husband came up with pork green chili. YUMMM!!! So, I scoured pinterest for a Whole30 compliant version and I found one that came pretty close, but it had white beans. It said I could leave the beans out, but I just couldn't. And I'm glad I didn't! They made the dish. Anyway, I will write up a recipe for it here . #DAY88 I d...
